Well I got hit by this question on a local train 'journey' this morning...
What is Conscience?
Well, if we go by the general way, the term Conscience refers to the inner self. The inner voice. It is nothing but the feelings of ones mind. (I'm still not able to figure out the difference between a Heart and a Mind...Or are the two synonyms??)
According to my thoughts that popped up one by one while I was on wheels that were running at a snail's pace, Conscience is talking to oneself. It can me 'Me for Me' or can turn out to be 'Me against Myself'. It is the divine connection to the li'l God that resides within us who helps a great deal in making decisions. Afterall, this is what we really mean by God if we go by the saying- 'God helps those who helps themselves'. Our inner voice sometimes might be wrong (I wonder how people say,the heart always speaks right??!) but the decisions, the tasks, whethr right or wrong, give a sense of satisfaction of doing something what one wanted to after they are implemented or accomplished. Believe me, you will hear a little voice guiding you when you are in trouble, telling you what you really want to do further to slowly de-tangle the situation. This reminds me of a hymn we students used to sing at the school assembly....
Make God your Guru,
Let Him tell you what to do
Listen He's calling clear and true...!
Take time to listen,
Have courage to obey
The Inner Voice is calling calling you
The Inner Voice is calling calling you...
There are voices all around me
My families and my friends
Do this, Don't do that
The chorus never ends
But I will always listen to the quiet Inner Voice,
It is swift and definite and I have made my choice...!
Make God your Guru,
Let Him tell you what to do
Listen He's calling clear and true...!
Take time to listen,
Have courage to obey
The Inner Voice is calling calling you
The Inner Voice is calling calling you...
Think about it...
